ED1ToR HERALD-After having been
present. during the various sessions in
tended for the investigation concerning
the Kuhrts street bridge, caused by one
of our worthy Councilmen .preferring
charges based upon the alleged misrerre.
eentation,. or whatever it may be called,
of our City Surveyor, in awarding the
contract to the San Francisco Bridge
Company.
The fact being once established that
said agreement was conclusive and bind.
ing to both parties, whether the first
part is the city of Los Angeles or any
individual, does not matter, and under
NO circumstances whatever tsven pre-
sumipp that our worthy city fathers had
committed a mistake of disastrous
nature. detrimental to all tax payers) it
would not make any difference after, as
before mentioned, the fact of the valid
jty Of the contract in question had been
established.
The writer has come to the conclusion
tt 1t the sooner the accusation preferred
against the City Surveyor, whose integ-
riry ia thus attacked, is declared to be
false and qrouDdless the better it will be
for all concerned and the public in gen.
: eral. inasmuch as the charges preferred
az .irst him have been sufficiently dis
proved by the developments of several
sessions, above referred to, without the
aid of sauguine lawyer, aod which is
best explained by the Mayors question
put to Councilman Stearns: "Why
did Il you call our attention to the pos.
sibility of getting the amount reduced
before the contract in question was
awarded" which was rewarded by one
Of his numerous evlsive answers, show
ing its absolute vanity in every respect.
Evidence of Knox, Ledbetter and
other renowned civil engineers called by
tie accuser to substantiate the charge
and to disprove the veracity snd ability
of onr well-known City Surveyor. Mr..
r. Eaton, failed to prove anything but
the absurdity OF the charges, and as
matter of Justice and for the benefit of
CITY taxpayers, the contract should be
upheld in order to preclude the possbil-
ity Of being obliged to pay more, owing
to the high railroad rates at present and
tho expense lawsuit might involve.
In conclusion / may add that in order
to do Justice to all taxpayers, the evi.
dence obtained should be laid before the
cubic to see whether the accusation was
q iustifiable one or one derived from
other sources than having in view the
welfare of the city taxoayers.
